KKSY-FM

History

KKSY-FM signed on February 27, 1963, as WMT-FM at 96.5 FM with an easy listening, jazz and classical music format. There were 90-minute classical music segments in the morning and evening with regular programs of jazz and music from Broadway musicals. Some of those early announcers were Keith Webster, Bill Dutcher, Don John Ross, Bill Grubbe, and Jim Wicks as well as other WMT announcers who took the helm of hosting on FM. In the early days, programming was totally separate from WMT radio but in the late 1960s, WMT-FM started simulcasting the 15-minute newscasts of WMT AM 600 several times a day. In the 1970s, it became a full-time "beautiful music" station before adopting an adult contemporary format in the early 1980s in an era when many beautiful music stations went to a soft rock or more contemporary format. WMT-FM's studios have been located at Broadcast Park on Collins Road in Cedar Rapids, along with its AM sister station WMT and TV station KGAN (the former WMT-TV), since it signed on. Until the 1970s, the studios of WMT radio was located on the fifth floor of the historic Paramount Theater building in downtown Cedar Rapids. It was one of the few stations with a callsign beginning with W located west of the Mississippi River.

Beginning January 2, 2012, WMT began simulcasting on KWMG (95.7 FM) in Anamosa, Iowa; this simulcast ended on August 18, 2014.

WMT is licensed to broadcast a digital hybrid HD signal. It is not currently carrying HD however.

History

WMT was founded by Douglas "Tex" Perham as WJAM on July 30, 1922. In 1928, Harry Shaw purchased WJAM and moved the station from Cedar Rapids to Waterloo, renaming it WMT (for the now-defunct Waterloo Morning Tribune newspaper that he owned). Shaw sold the station to the Cowles family, owners of the Des Moines Register, in October 1934. WMT moved back to Cedar Rapids the next year, occupying the studios of the defunct KWCR radio after KWCR's frequency was taken over by KSO in Des Moines, another Cowles station. (WMT continued to operate a secondary studio in Waterloo until 1947.) The Cowleses sold WMT to Delaware-based American Broadcasting Stations in 1944.

It all started out with a slap right on my ass,a quick check-up, momentary cries,my name on a bracelet,registration forms, medical records,"Welcome to the jungle !"and then it all got sorted out.Then came the first time when I fellflat right on my facePainful disillusion not to achievethe goals I'd set myself:String three steps together before I grabbed that hand.Then I did my best to fit the drill you spelled meout...So time went by I still I triedto naively stay right in the line,following up the mass,quietly walk that path down, keeping low profile, fitthe mould like everyone.Now comes the time to leave the cage I been captive inTime to saw the bars, to get over the fences,Time not to fit that drill you spelled me out...Everything around me is bleak and dull,so as tosterilize all my emotions,It's made to condition my brain day by day,and turn it into marmeladeAll that time I spent hanging about on the wrong track.Hounded by all those "essential" needsI shall not do without.Now i'm realizing that I been wasting my time...Life is too short to be just another pawn on this coldand boring chessboard,No way i keep sitting back here,sitting down on my dreamsWatching them fading awaySo time to saw the bars, to get over the fences,
